@Drew Dordan - When you use a list that is filtered such as "probates" "per-foreclusures" "Absentee Owner" etc, you are speaking to that group as a whole, so you can write copy (or choose pre-written copy) that is one size fits all.

You can search your local market and even narrow down using the filter icon to select "Real Estate Investments" as an area of focus.

It's a little longer than we had hoped, but some contractor struggles had us take a breath, get going in the right direction and back on track. 

My thinking is get the contract signed and do due diligence with the bank with FIRST order being to get them to postpone the date to give us breathing room.

I breathe a sigh of relief. 

Most of the banks and reo servicing companies (hubzu, auction.com, etc.) are now charging technology fees, buyer's premium fees, breathing fee, stupidity license, etc.

Dealing with them has been a breathe of fresh air as compared to the bigger companies out there.

Water filters neither. 

If a pool pump quits or a new pool filter is needed then who is responsible for replacing?

We opened every wall we could and finally allowed this home to breathe.
